"Thank you for my call, Niken," he muttered expectantly, while pacing back and forth waiting for a reply from his wife.
"The number you're going to doesn't answer. Please call a few more moments."
Ardi also saw his phone, apparently Niken did not answer his phone connection. His mind was brought back, after the emergency situation would have been over now the problem happened to Niken, who did not want to raise his call.
"Come on Niken, pick up my phone." Ardi tried to call her back. His steps were dragged to and fro with a call still waiting for an answer.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Surabaya. Niken has reunited with the others. Anxious strokes were clearly drawn from his father's face. Niken could not hide his worry about the state of Ardi who is now in Bandung.
Her mind kept thinking about the possible situation between her husband and Melati. Both are former lovers. Niken also knew that Melati was the woman Ardi would marry some time ago, before finally marrying him.
"What's up, honey?" Mita continued to pay attention to the beloved princess, who she thought was thinking a lot. His fingers caressed Niken's hand.
"It's okay, Ma. I was just thinking about Ardi. It looks like he hasn't arrived in England, so my call hasn't been answered by him" he told a lie.
As much as possible Niken covered her anxiety about Ardi who is actually currently with her ex-lover. It is impossible for him to say that Ardi is still in Bandung and not in England, as the essay has been made before.
Mita also stroked Niken's hair, smiling gently and saying, "Mama knows, your anxiety is now, but you have to be strong, dear. Keep praying for your husband's safety. Ask Allah to guard it, for indeed, the prayer of a wife will quickly be heard by Him. Pray for Ardi. I understand what Mom means, don't I?"
Niken nodded while saying 'amin' then, rubbing her face with both hands. The prayer that her mother said.
Fatma also from a distance continued to pay attention to two different women of that generation. It seemed that something had happened to Niken, so she looked so anxious from before. Mita is as worried as the princess, which eventually makes Fatma wonder.
He opened his mouth and was ready to ask a question. However, Niken has not been delivered in a hurry to leave the room because he had to receive a phone call from who?
"What's up, Mba? Why does Niken seem so rushed and anxious?" Fatma was finally able to convey the question that had disturbed her mind. From that question also Bambang Adi Atmaja just realized that Niken was not there.
"What's wrong with Niken? Did something happen to Ardi?"
The question is not much different from the one Fatma put out. However, his last sentence received a sharp glare from his wife.
"Dad! Don't just talk. His mind likes this ugly thing about Ardi. You can't do that, Dad. Poor Niken later," muttered Mita, after hitting her husband's thigh. Then, dropped his gaze on Niken who seemed busy chatting from the phone line.
Bambang came to see the princess standing at the end of the door, "What should I do? I just asked myself, what is going on? Is that a call from Ardi? Blame myself for asking that?"
Mita glanced at her husband for a moment, before finally sniggering and looking at Niken Kembali. The feeling around being bad, his mind was not careless when he thought about the possibility that happened to Ardi, when viewed from Niken's facial expression getting worse.
Niken yelled a little, "What? Try repeating your words?"
He really could not hide his surprise when he received news from the husband who had been waiting for him.
"I'm sorry, Niken, because of my stupidity, this problem is getting wider" said Ardi, who was on the other end of the phone call.
Ardi really doesn't know what to explain to Niken? The state of Jasmine is now caused by his selfishness. If he had been more softened before, then the incident of Melati miscarriage would never have happened.
Niken rubbed his face rough. Her chest feels tight now. The bad feeling he felt from the morning, turned out to have happened now.
"Then, how's Jasmine's condition now?" Niken finally regained her composure. But his feelings and thoughts were still empty. It is still difficult to accept the situation now.
"Jasmine's state gradually improved. The doctor explained, Melati will soon be awake in a few hours," he explained, who could not explain many things to his wife.
Seeing the unconscious Melati, made his heart not completely calm. Niken hasn't said anything else. Ardi could understand it. His wife still needed time to figure it all out.
"Nnickn ... Can you come here? I don't know what to do next. Really, I can't think now," said Ardi lirih. His gaze did not want to be separated from Melati who was still closing her eyes, as well as feeling guilty for all her actions.
Ardi was still waiting for an answer, while Niken was not ceaselessly speaking the istighfar that Ardi could hear, as a form of disappointment the wife as well as controlling her emotions so as not to overflow.
"alright. I'll be there soon. Wait for me there."
After arranging the heart and mind, Niken finally managed to get his calm back. His words were like a breath of fresh air to Ardi.
"Ardi," said Melati who could be heard by Niken.
It is known that Melati began to open her eyes, Ardi also gave thanks because finally Melati realized as well.
Seeing Melati who had woken up, Ardi hurriedly ended his phone call without saying any greetings to Niken, soon he ran out to call the Doctor.
"The ardi!" Niken shouted, "Ardi! The ardi!" He looked class, clearly plastered from the face of his father who was covered in thin makeup.
Niken was eager to throw his phone away because Ardi just ended his phone call without saying a word. Let alone the long words, even greetings he forgot.
"God ... Is Melati that important, so he ignores his own wife?" his grunts without hiding the slightest bit of his annoyance. "Then I don't have to help him. Let him take care of the problem. Anyway, none of this is my fault. So why would I bother to help."
Despite saying so, Niken still felt pity and pity for her husband. Ardi must be confused right now.
"Ah, already. Just leave him alone. Who cut off the phone? Then the sign, he doesn't need my help," he thought, as well as masking the annoyance of Ardi's unceremonious ending the phone call.
However, once he kept thinking about Ardi's condition now. Niken caught his breath first. After regaining her composure, she turned around intending to bring her steps in and meet her family.
Not yet stepped up, he first got a short message from Ardi. The message contains.
"Assalamualaikum, Nicene. Sorry for not saying hello. The doctor said Melati's condition had improved. It was just that he was still too limp to move. I just wanted to say that. Again, I apologize for ignoring you. Hope you can understand it. I'll contact you as soon as the business here is done."
Niken read the message carefully. Not a single word is missed because it does not want to misinterpret later.
A thin arch emanated clearly at the end of his lips. His sense of regret was not as great as before. At least the message was able to treat his frustration.
"Vaalaikumsalam. I'm glad to hear that. You be careful there. Don't forget to eat and take care of your health. I'll be there soon. So don't worry too much."
Niken immediately pressed the send button to reply to the short message. Seen check two, which was soon immediately seen by Ardi.
Niken's feelings are getting happier because the husband still remembers her. Ardi replied by sending a heart-shaped emoji, as a sign of apology as well as to please his wife.
Niken was smiling to herself at the door. Getting a reply in the form of heart emojis has made him happy.
His frustration seemed to disappear changed with a heart that seemed to fill the flowers. After everything was under control, Niken started to enter the room again.
He could not hide his happiness from everyone who was there. Mita could guess that Niken had just gotten happy news, emanating clearly from her beaming face.
"Mom, Dad. I ..."
Niken wanted to say something, but suddenly paused, when the sound of knocking on the door went hand in hand with the sound of greeting.
"Assalamualaik."
Niken immediately turned around because she felt familiar with the voice.
